Not sure what people are telling you but this is for the Chargers game.Row 5 section 125 on Stubhubfor behind the bench its like 1.5k
But there is a 20 year waiting list for season tickets here. So kind of expected.
It's true, really Jerry Jones didn't do himself many favors building a stadium for 100K+ People. It just isn't conducive to an enjoyable football experience. Sure there's people watching and other shit to distract you from the game, but if you're dropping the coin to see the game, shouldn't that be the focus?Future is in home viewing. 20 years from now 30k will be a decent crowd in some stadiums.
last years playoffs. 300-600 for first level is about right during reg season. Depends on the game 2, like Pats vs Den, is always huge compared to SDNot sure what people are telling you but this is for the Chargers game.Row 5 section 125 on Stubhub

Baseball is a game better viewed with a group of people at the game, enjoying the sights and sounds and smells. You cannot find a better hotdog than the one you have at a baseball game.
Hockey is the best live sport on the planet. TV doesn't nearly do it any justice.
Basketball cannot be appreciated until you sit in the lower section of a college basketball game and are a part of a student section, seated right next to the pep band.
The only way to watch football is on your couch, with some buddies, tracking your fantasy games on redzone at the same time. The television product, televisions themselves, and fantasy football have almost singlehandedly ruined the game for live audiences.
When I had season tickets, we kind of had a community going in our section. Lot of folks from different parts of town, different jobs and outlooks on things, but all Rams fans who showed up on Sundays.
They weren't the best seats in the house, and those years from '96-'98 were pretty lean. But I wouldn't trade those games with those guys in '99-'01 for anything. We didn't know each other before, but we had a bond over that group doing something really special.
I guess it's like anything else. Do you need to see your favorite band live in order to appreciate their music? Of course not. Some may argue that the sound quality is better on their home system, it's cheaper, don't have to deal with traffic and expensive incidentals.
But when your seeing that band live, with a bunch of people who also dig that music - man that's priceless. To me at least.
It took me a little getting used to at first. My first Basketball game was a Laker game at the old Great Western Forum. I couldn't get over the fact that it looked much like going to a gym and watching a game - the squeaking of the sneakers is one of those things you just don't hear on TV and the look is SO different than it is on TV. Granted it is mostly during the slower times of the game that you hear the sneakers but the Showtime Lakers didn't have a lot of slow times. I've watched several more games since then and found that it really depends on the venue. The Staples center is night and day different than the Forum and the Portland Coliseum brought back that old feeling of the gym compared to the feel of the Rose Garden.if you've ever watched two NBA teams play........ especially if they are more uptempo versus half court play........ that is some of the most entertaining sports you can see anywhere
